This study investigated the effects of various 11 factors over 3.5 years under controlled conditionsMANUSCRIPT simulating the sewer environment. 12 Concrete coupons prepared from precorroded sewers were exposed, both in the gas phase and 13 partially submerged in wastewater, in laboratory controlled corrosion chambers. Over the 45 14 month exposure period, three environmental factors of H2S concentration, relative humidity 15 and air temperature were controlled at different levels in the corrosion chambers. A total of 16 36 exposure conditions were investigated to determine the long term effects of these factors 17 by regular retrieval of concrete coupons for detailed analysis of surface pH, corrosion layer 18 sulfate levels andACCEPTED concrete loss. Corrosion rates were also determined for different exposure 19 periods. It was found that the corrosion rate of both gas-phase and partially-submerged 20 coupons was positively correlated with the H2S concentration in the gas phase. Relative 21 humidity played also a role for the corrosion activity of the gas-phase coupons. However, the 22 partially-submerged coupons were not affected by humidity as the surfaces of these coupons ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 23 were saturated due to capillary suction of sewage on the coupon surface. The effect of 24 temperature on corrosion activity varied and possibly the acclimation of corrosion-inducing 25 microbes to temperature mitigated effects of that factor. It was apparent that biological 26 sulfide oxidation was not the limiting step of the overall corrosion process. These findings 27 provide real insights into the long-term effects of these key environmental factors on the 28 sewer corrosion processes. 29 Key words 30 Sewer; corrosion; concrete; hydrogen sulfide; humidity; temperature 31 Nomenclature 32 BET Brunauer–Emmett–Teller 33 GPC Gas-phase concrete coupons MANUSCRIPT 34 MICC Microbially induced concrete corrosion 35 PLC Programmable logic controller 36 PSC Partially-submerged concrete coupons 37 SOB Sulfide-oxidizing bacteria 38 SOR Sulfide oxidation rate 39 RH RelativeACCEPTED humidity 40 RTD Resistance temperature detector 41 ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 42 1 Introduction 43 Sewer networks for transport of wastewater (sewage) are among the most important 44 infrastructure elements of modern cities, and their establishment has been achieved through 45 the continuous public investment for more than a century. The total asset value of these 46 networks is estimated to be about one trillion dollars in the USA and $100 billion in Australia 47 (Brongers et al., 2002). However, concrete corrosion is a costly degradation process affecting 48 sewer systems worldwide. Corrosion causes loss of concrete mass and deteriorates the 49 structural capacity, leading to cracking of sewer pipes and ultimately structural collapse. The 50 rehabilitation and replacement of damaged sewers is very costly. In the USA alone, corrosion 51 is causing sewer asset losses estimated at around $14 billion per year (Brongers et al., 2002). 52 This cost is expected to increase as the aging infrastructure continues to fail (Sydney et al., 53 1996; US EPA, 1991). 54 Concrete corrosion in sewers involves a combinationMANUSCRIPT of physical, chemical and biological 55 processes, and is commonly termed microbially induced concrete corrosion (MICC). The 56 fresh concrete surface of sewer pipes after construction is not favorable for microbial growth 57 due to the strongly alkaline nature of concrete. The concrete surface changes to a favorable 58 environment during the initial stages of corrosion by carbonation (by CO2) and H2S 59 acidification (Joseph et al., 2012). In gravity sewers, favorable physicochemical conditions 60 for microbial colonization occur on the concrete surface through adequate water availability 61 (due to elevatedACCEPTED relative humidity), high concentrations of carbon dioxide, high 62 concentrations of H2S and lowered surface pH (Wei et al., 2014). 63 In the sewer network H2S is generated by anaerobic sulfate-reducing bacteria mostly in the 64 rising main (pumped) sections. This H2S is transported to the gravity flow sections of the 65 sewer and is emitted to the gas phase where it is absorbed in the condensation layer of the ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 66 exposed pipe surface (sides and crown), followed by the biological oxidation of H2S and the 67 production of sulfuric acid (Parker, 1945a; b; 1947; Pomeroy and Bowlus, 1946), which is 68 responsible for the corrosive attack on the concrete (Islander et al., 1991; Ismail et al., 1993). 69 Recent studies have identified various microorganisms, primarily sulfide-oxidizing bacteria 70 (SOB), involved in this acid production (Cayford et al., 2012; Hernandez et al., 2002; Kelly 71 and Wood, 2000; Nica et al., 2000; Okabe et al., 2007; Santo Domingo et al., 2011). 72 The sewer pipe intact cement (mainly hydrated calcium silicate (CaO⋅⋅ SiO22 2H O ) and 73 portlandite (Ca(OH)2)) reacts with the biologically generated sulfuric acid, to form two 74 important corrosion products: gypsum in the matrix of the corrosion layer and ettringite near 75 the corrosion front with higher pH (Jiang et al., 2014; O'Connell et al., 2010). Both gypsum 76 and ettringite are highly expansive minerals, which are believed to cause internal cracking at 77 the concrete interface and hence enhance the corrosion development (Monteny et al., 2000; 78 Parande et al., 2006). Additionally, Jiang et al. (2014)MANUSCRIPT recently found that micro-cracking in 79 the corroding concrete is likely caused by the continuous cycle of the dissolution of iron salts 80 in the corrosion layer and rust precipitation at the corrosion front. 81 Various technologies are used to alleviate and control corrosion problems in concrete sewers. 82 This includes liquid- and gas-phase technologies that use chemicals such as nitrates or iron 83 salts to reduce the formation/emission of H2S (Gutierrez et al., 2008; Jiang et al., 2011; Jiang 84 et al., 2013; Jiang and Yuan, 2013; Zhang et al., 2009) or remove H2S from sewer air (Sivret 85 and Stuetz, 2010).ACCEPTED Other technologies include construction of new sewers with corrosion- 86 resistant concrete or to repair corroded concrete surfaces with corrosion resistant layers (De 87 Muynck et al., 2009; Haile et al., 2010; Hewayde et al., 2007; Rivera-Garza et al., 2000; 88 Yamanaka et al., 2002; Alexander et al., 2011). ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 89 The most direct indicator for the effectiveness of these various technologies should be the 90 corrosion rate, in terms of concrete depth lost over time (mm/year) under sewer conditions. 91 Due to the difficulty to measure actual corrosion rates in operating sewers, the control 92 efficiency is usually evaluated based on the liquid phase sulfide or gaseous H2S 93 concentrations before and after treatment. However, this is only one of the factors related to 94 concrete sewer corrosion. Full understanding of the relationships between the corrosion rate 95 and various sewer environmental factors such as the H2S concentration, relative humidity and 96 temperature are critical to evaluate and optimize the corrosion control strategies. 97 Many laboratory based studies have used accelerated tests or short term experiments of up to 98 6 months exposure to investigate sewer corrosion. These accelerated tests may be performed 99 by exposure of concrete samples to sulfuric acid solutions, and sometimes with heavy inocula 100 of sulfur oxidising bacteria (Herisson et al., 2013; Yousefi et al., 2014), and result in highly 101 enhanced activity that leads to corrosion rates thatMANUSCRIPT may be 10 times higher than those detected 102 in real sewers. Such experiments have been useful for relative comparisons, for example, to 103 test the corrosion of various concrete mixtures, or the effectiveness of sacrificial or 104 permanent coatings. However, these tests are not relevant for ascertaining the conditions and 105 factors that determine concrete corrosion. To date there is a severe lack of studies that 106 investigate these factors in well controlled conditions that simulate the sewer environment 107 and over time scales that are relevant to sewer corrosion. 108 The H2S concentration in real sewers varies greatly due to different hydraulic retention times, 109 flow velocities andACCEPTED wastewater characteristics. In addition to high relative humidity and high 110 atmospheric oxygen content, a H2S level >2 ppm is suggested to be required for the sulfide 111 oxidation to proceed on concrete sewers (O'Dea, 2007). It is thought that the corrosion rate is 112 directly proportional to the H2S emission rate (De Belie et al., 2004). The well-known ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 113 Pomeroy model can be used to calculate the deterioration rate of concrete sewer pipes based 114 on equation 1 (Pomeroy, 1990): 11.5kφ 115 C = sw (1) r alk 116 Where Cr = corrosion rate (mm/year); k = factor related to the acid formation, based on 117 climate conditions, 0.8 in moderate climates; φsw= sulfide flux at the air-wall interface [g 2 118 H2S/(m hr)]; and alk = alkalinity of the pipe material (g CaCO3/g concrete). 119 In sewers, water and nutrients provided by sewage are found to promote the microbial 120 corrosion, especially for the area close to the water level in a sewer pipe (Mori et al., 1992). 121 For the pipe surface further away from the water level, the relative humidity of the sewer air 122 and the condensation process on the concrete surface would generate a water film for 123 microbial growth.
